Doctoral Open Day: Media, Cultural Studies and Journalism

The British Library is a crucial source of news and media content across all formats. Our vast newspaper collections cover national and local press of all kinds. We are archiving websites about significant events, to ensure that these vital sources are not lost. In our Reading Rooms you can access hundreds of thousands of TV and radio programmes, including all news broadcast in the UK over the last two years.

Our Doctoral Open Days are a chance for new PhD students to discover the British Library’s unique research materials. At this free event you will learn about our news and media collections, find out how to access them, and meet our expert staff and other researchers in your field. The events are solely for first year PhD students who are new to the Library. Lunch and refreshments will be provided.

Please only book on a single event, using the Book Now link above, and contact us if you are unable to attend – these events are very popular.

To make the most of your day, you may wish to get a free Reader Pass before the event.
